It is assumed that Marston committed suicide because he poured the drink himself. Still, all the guests go to their room and lock the door. All the characters think to themselves about the murders that they were charged with by the speaker. Rogers notices that of the ten Indians on the table, only nine remain.
Mrs. Rogers died in her sleep overnight. Rogers thinks that Armstrong overdosed her by giving her too many sleeping pills. The guests look in hope that the boat will arrive but decide it never will. As the chapter comes to a close, Rogers shows Armstrong that only eight Indian figures remain on the table.
It's starting to get really intense. I love it!

Cowboys and Indians
Chapters 2-4 saw some intense action. All the characters are introduced to their rooms, and each of them notices a poem entitled, "Ten Little Indians." The poem ends by saying And then there was one. The characters gather for dinner and notice ten Indian figures in the middle of the table. They each connect them to the poem. After dinner the guests are having after dinner drinks , and a voice comes over a loudspeaker. The voice goes on to tell of murders committed by each of the guests. The house goes into chaos as each of the characters defend themselves.
They decide that the man who invited them, Mr. U.N. Owen, is a homicidal maniac who invited them there. Wargrave insists that they should leave in the morning when the boat arrives. They all agree; except Tony Marston. He then takes a drink, chokes on it, and dies.
You know what goes with Indians right? Cowboys. Paa!! I don't know why but I thought about cowboys while I was reading this section. See, that's why I can't read long books like this. My mind wanders too much. I think there's a name for it..like ADD or something.

1st post
Over Christmas I read And Then There Were None for a half hour.
The reading showed all the characters being called to an island near Sticklehaven. At the end of the chapter there is some major foreshadowing by Agatha Christie. She all but tells us that the Robert Blore is going to die. Well now that I know someone's going to die I'm actually a little more interested in the book.
